I should mention that I also do scapula push-ups. In fact, I pretty much follow the Diesel Crew Shoulder Rehab Protocol. I do one of the 'circuits' after each workout. Band work is done every day since it's easy to just get up from the desk and do some pull-a-parts and dislocates. Face pulls require a door hook or something which isn't always on-hand.

Edit: And here's an unsolicited product recommendation. I've found the bands from 'Draper's Strength' to be of great quality and far cheaper than the 'big name' bands from Rogue, Elite FTS, etc. I would not recommend a band with handles, the big loop band is for more versatile and easier to use. Generally you have to search for 'pull up assist band' to find the big loop bands instead of the dual-handle resistance bands.

I'm using a red looped band that I use for scap mobility/prehab. I just bend it in half over and over again until it's about 6 inches end to end and about as thick as that bar. It's not as pretty but I get the burn. When that gets too easy, I can purchase the next higher resistance band.
People who have experience with using bands as accommodating resistance:
Cheapest solution is usually going to be rings.
That makes Rows easy to handle, however ring dips are kinda hard, because they add the need for core stability on the rings.
Well, the simplest solution for that is one of these., either the purple or the green one. With those rubber bands you can do this: http://www.kingofthegym.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/band-assisted-dips.jpg (Only with rings) To make the dips assisted in the beginning.
Generally I would aim for 15 assissted dips, before you should comfortably be able to do 3 or more without the band.
